Sally Rand Fan Dance

[lymon]

this would be alot hotter if you weren't built like a twelve year old Jewish boy in the throes of polio.

[alexina1985]

be nice @lymon

[J0hnnyTrash]

@lymon lol!

[victotronics]

Very good!

[RainingBlood07]

I agree with the others below about the twittering of the fans, but otherwise, fantastic effort! I know how difficult it can be to control the fans and still look classy at the same time!

All the best!

In my opinion as a professional burlesque dancer, well done seeing this was your very first try. Not ridiculous at all! Gee-wiz people seem to forget you need to start playing around when in learning.

I do agree below, remember not to twitter the fans to much ;o) Great luck to you...

[nitaisnear]

Oh, I enjoyed that so much! It is hypnotic watching. I've added this to my favorite videos. You are wonderful in your movements. The song is perfect. Everything is classy. I particularly enjoy the camera holding still and taking in the space around you. Keep up your excellent work. I appreciate your sharing this.

[MissScarlet807]

Not bad, but "Sally Rand" fans were almost the size of Sally Rand! It's so much more glamorous if it's covered up even more! And the fans could have moved around and spun more instead of just twittering like maybe the birds were still attached.

Loved the music, though!

[bberinsky]

Great dance and music!!! Enjoyed!

[roberta4010]

that was absolutely ridiculous. Not classy at all like the old girls used to be. Sorry. Keep trying though.

[Traeonna]

Looks like you have a great start. I look forward to more of your videos in this style to see how you've progressed in your fan work. It's lovely. I heart Sally Rand. I think her work was graceful as well as titillating. There's something to be said about the illusion of nudity. Indeed, as another poster wrote, she wore a body suit. I first saw a clip of her at the Chicago World Fair (I'm sure it's on youtube somewhere by now).

Very impressive :)

Should check your facts though - NOBODY danced nude in the 1930s. She was arrested and charged with criminal indecency, but she was never actually nude, only so good at the illusion that he authorities were convinced she was actually nude.

Sally's fans were almost as tall as she was - you can get fake feathers at craft stores which would be tall enough for you - if you're trying to emulate her. Very sexy anyway :)

[ditaj]

awh bless. tiny fans! cute

[jimycor]

Great music by Sonny Lester.

[andrewsdream]

Great moves Symone, very inventive. Love the shimmying of the feathers held out flat to the camera.

Thank-you for sharing this.

[boomloulou]

i love it Symone!

love love love the fan,gonna check out the website too :)

[symonesal]

Good luck, they are not all that cheap but I do hope to do some public performances.

[boomloulou]

I do hope you do performances with those fans soon!

I just checked out the website,the 30 inch is reasonable priced(so not getting the 72haha).

Im buying a couple of those to decorate my new house back home :)

[symonesal]

Fabulous!!! YOu'll have to send photos of what it ends up looking like, would love to see.

[oliviashelster]

Thats fabulous and very hard to make it look easy as you do. :)

[symonesal]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

[Poledancefan]

My wife looked up from grading papers and said, "Ohmigod--it's Sally Rand"...and I asked, "who the heck was Sally Rand?" So she told me the story about the "scandal" here in Chicago with the (naked!) feathers. Can't believe I lived here all my life and never heard the story. So now my wife is educating me about the history of exotic dance!!

[symonesal]

You lucky lucky man. It's a very interesting history. I wish I could be there to hear the stories too.

[fliegeroh]

Wow, nice job. Nothing more sexy than when its left to the imagination.

[symonesal]

Thanks, and very nicely said.

[lunedelait37]

I love love love!! It's so great and beautiful!! Wow!!!

[castleoutsider]

O_O thats hot...

[studio30pole]

Great job for your first time!! Can't wait to see more

[ktstandrew]

Reminds me of the first time back in the summer of 1970 when I went for my military pre-induction up at Kansas City and went out to see a couple of the burlesque shows that night... Don't remember who the gal was dancing but from where I was sitting about halfway in the theater she looked good to me and it was a lot different than the strip joints back home that I was used too...

[AntixFitnessStudio]

I love it! You did great! Thanks for all of the info you gave. You answered all my questions!

[cgrammeral]

lol, love it! so fun!

[twirlyswirly]

omigosh girl! sexy extroadinary performance! i love it!!!!!!! and teh music is amazing haahah! looks like SO much fun! but all that fan flapping must take some forearm muscle!

[symonesal]

Luckily all the pole dancing has helped to improve my forearm muscles.

[MsNikkiStar]
